Q: On Sep 12, 2025 you commented:

GIB.A can benefit from AI, and it is heavily investing in AI, but some consultant roles can be replaced by AI, and overall we think there are more interesting names in the market right now for the growth model portfolio.

Who are the more interesting names? Canadians, American and Why do think they will do better?

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.

Q: I noticed you prefer KSX over DSG recently, and I’m wondering why. Or is GSY the better choice of the three? I have held all three for a few years and due to timing issues I have a much higher gain on DSG and GSY. I know past performance does not guarantee future results, but can’t get over my negative bias towards KSX. Also I have too many different stocks and know I should concentrate more. (I.e. 20 vs 30+)

Q: Hi Team,
I hold a heavy position in Gsy and Prl both. I do not own any Hood yet. I was debating trimming some Prl to take a position in Hood. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you see the Hood share price outperforming Prl in the next while and long term? Or…is Hood and the whole crypto sector a little over heated right now and might I be better waiting for a pullback before buying Hood?

Thanks,
Shane

such as - HOOD,VRT,COIN,PLTR,KSI,APP,IONQ,PRL,GSY,KTOS,SOUN,RKLB,VHI,NBIS and CLS - having digested those recent results and conference calls are there any that have impressed beyond your expectations or, conversely, raised any red flag?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Hi, all of these stocks look quite over-valued. Please rank them in order of which ones you might start nibbling on, along with general entry prices. I know you don't like to time the market, but there may very well be dips coming up! Thank you.

Q: With Go Easy showing a lower PE and better momentum than Propel after earnings, which of these two do you think looks better going forward? If an investor owned only PRL, would it make sense to switch to GSY?

Q: Wanting to diversify my bank stocks heavy cash account into more growth opportunities over the last couple of years , I have added BN, LMN, GSY ( and have done well , thanks ).
I have followed FSV and TFI for years , never buying. Basically , both were too expensive in my eyes. However I now see FSV as an asset light company with blowout earnings and TFI a company with strong management caught in a cyclical downturn. Which would be your next purchase and why ? Thanks. Derek
